Greetings!

I am running GroupWise 6.5 with Service Pack 5.

When I run MS sample MAPI Viewer MDBVU32.EXE on a GroupWise message store,
the following data is not visible:
- Documents folder.
- Subfolders under Cabinet folder which were created by other users.
- Non-MAPI objects (such as BMP files) which can be stored in GW under
Cabinet folder, for example.

Is there a way to see the mentioned folders via MAPI?
If not, is this limitation documented somewhere?

Thanks!

No, the MAPI API is limited in terms of what it expects
to access - basicly emails and Novell decided not to
try and retrofit its document store and shared folders
to MAPI as key information such as access rights and
versioning would not be exposed.
